TL;DR · Senior Core Infrastructure Engineer

As a Senior Core Infrastructure Engineer, you will join the team responsible for Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Workflow, a Tier 0 service critical to the execution of distributed, multi-step work in a fault-tolerant manner. You will design, implement, and optimize components within distributed systems, focusing on scalability, resiliency, and operability. Your daily responsibilities include building fault-tolerant paths through redundancy and replication, implementing circuit breakers and timeouts, and developing automation via Infrastructure as Code for troubleshooting and maintenance. You will also manage performance testing, create telemetry dashboards, and participate in incident response and root cause analyses. The role requires proficiency in Java and DevOps practices to solve complex problems involving high-volume data retrieval and storage. You will ensure the platform remains efficient while scaling to meet growth needs through advanced security controls and robust system architecture.

What you'll do

  • Design and optimize distributed system components for high-volume data processing, horizontal scaling, and vertical scalability.
  • Build fault-tolerant infrastructure using redundancy, replication, automatic failover, circuit breakers, and retry mechanisms.
  • Develop automation scripts and Infrastructure as Code (IaC) to streamline troubleshooting and maintenance tasks.
  • Create dashboards, telemetry systems, and alert configurations to proactively monitor system health and detect failures.
  • Participate in incident response, perform root cause analysis (RCA), and author operational runbooks.
  • Implement advanced security controls including encryption and access management for multi-tenant environments.
  • Execute performance and load testing to ensure system stability under heavy traffic.
  • Conduct fault-injection and brown-out testing to evaluate system correctness and availability.

What we're looking for

  • Applicants must be able to read, write, and speak English.
  • Candidates must have 3 to 5+ years of experience.
  • Proficiency in Java is required.
  • Experience with DevOps practices is required.
  • Experience designing and optimizing distributed systems for scalability, resiliency, and operability is required.
  • Ability to implement fault-tolerant mechanisms including redundancy, replication, and automatic failover is required.
  • Ability to develop automation scripts and Infrastructure as Code (IaC) for cloud infrastructure management is required.
  • Ability to apply advanced security controls such as encryption and access controls in multi-tenant environments is required.
